Attack of ultras to a bar in Madrid where Manchester fans met

No big problems were expected in the match between the Atletico Madrid and the Manchester Unitedin the first leg of the round of 16 of the Champions League. However, the night before the duel there was an episode of violence in the streets of the Spanish capital that we hope will not be repeated during the day.

On the night from Tuesday to Wednesday, there was a riot between ultras and fans of the Manchester United who were in a downtown bar in the capital of Spain. According to the video that has transpired from the hand of the account @hooliganscz1999, several individuals dressed in black would have attacked some English fans who were having a drink on a bar terrace.

It is unknown if the fans were hooligans or simply standing fans of the English team, who had advanced their arrival in the capital of Spain. During the riot, furniture chairs were blown without it being known that there were any injuries. Subsequently, a faction of ultras was targeted on social networks as the alleged perpetrators of the attack, a faction that has nothing to do with the current followers of the Atletico Madrid and that would bring together people who once passed through the Athletic front and old Ultrasurwho were expelled or left their respective groups and formed a group that has little to do with the football following of a team and has to do with political or other motivations.
